"Jaaaack hurry up!" The Doctor called impatiently, bouncing on the balls of his feet. There was so much to see! Not that they were pressed for time, but he was eager to begin learning where things were, what things were. He'd been ready for this all morning and they wait was growing unbearable. How long did it take to throw on a pair of shoes? "

Jack swung his greatcoat on and kicked his door open, chuckling. The Doctor was irrepressibly fun when he was this excited and ready to explore some strange new world. He knew that Hogwarts was absolutely going to delight the Time Lord. He’d spend months trying to learn how the place ticked.

"Hey! I'm not that bad, you know," he chuckled. "Come on, first thing we need to do is.."

Jack stopped, turned around, hooked the Doctor's arm and drug him away from the huffy painting. "Don't worry about her, she's always in a mood like that. See the painting two over and up on the wall? He keeps promising to come back and visit her. Never does," he tutted.

"Now come on, we've got to get you a wand first off."

"Do you mean to tells me those paintings don't just move- they travel?" He shot one last look over his shoulder at the portrait and called "you can do better" before allowing Jack to lead him on.

This was certainly a turn about. Normally he was the one giving tours and leading the way, enjoying the looks of delight and surprise in his companions' faces. Today it felt like discovering a brand new book in a library of novels he'd already read a dozen times over.

And at over nine hundred years old, that sort of feeling didn't come along very often.

"Ohh yes, a wand! Tell me- did I have one of those before I left?"

He sketched a shrug, “Probably. We all had wands the first time around. If it wasn’t in your room, then I’ll bet one of the house elves picked it up and returned it to the box. They don’t like random magical supplies left all over the place.”

They pulled up at a door marked “Ancient Runes” in, well, ancient Nordic runes. Just outside the door was a small shoebox filled with all manner of wand.

“So here’s the trick, you don’t just pick your wand, it picks you. Try a few out, use the basic levitation spell I taught you earlier. The right one will just.. feel right.”

He stood back and got himself ready to watch an impressive show. A Time Lord sorting out magic should prove to be fun.

sorry for the length.... I got excited >>

Intrigued, the Doctor approached the box and peered in, looking very much like a child about to jump on a trampoline for the first time. As he stopped in front of the box, crouching down to investigate its contents, a startled expression came over the Time Lord's face and he leaned back with a whistle.

"Whoo! Tingly. That is strong! Do you feel that?" He held a hand over the box and wiggled his fingers, looking back at Jack and laughing. "Blimey it's like sticking your arm in a pool of electric eels. Not so bad, by the way, eels. I mean so long as you don't touch them. But then that's just human nature isn't it? You see something, you pick it up and ZZZAP. Some things you gotta learn the hard way

While Dialga technically could get inside the castle, some parts of it were rather cramped, so he preferred to stay outside and poke his head into windows.

"FASCINATING. THERE ARE HUMANS INSIDE THE PICTURES, YET I CANNOT REACH THEM." He started to sniff. He followed the scent by poking his head into windows until he found the Doctor.

"YOU ARE ANOTHER ONE THAT SMELLS OF THE TIMESTREAM."

[tenofgallifrey]

"Hallo, what's this?" he leaned back, admiring the curious being sniffing at him from a window.

[nolongerprimal]

"I AM DIALGA. I AM THE GUARDIAN OF TEMPORAL TOWER." He sniffed again. "YOU SMELL SIMILAR TO THE ONE THAT CALLS HIMSELF THE DOCTOR."

The last few days hadn't been kind to Kurama. After a little field trip into the demon world after being turned into a child and accompanied by two ineffectual, irresponsible adults, he was really starting to feel the bruises. Especially the big, fuck-off shiner that covered half his face. Ugh, at least it wasn't swollen, anymore.

With all that, though, he was wholly unprepared to deal with people, especially loud people. Especially a loud person who was blocking the hall that was the quickest route to the infirmary. Especially someone who smelled like the bowtie-wearing idiot who kept insisting he was - shudder - a dog alien.

Kurama grumbled to himself and stuck to the opposite wall, hoping the Noisy One was distracted enough by the paintings to not notice him. Needless to say, he was never that lucky.

[tenofgallifrey]

He turned just in time to catch Kurama trying to sneak away

"S'cuse me! Sorry, but you wouldn't happen to know which floor we're on would you?

[serrulata]

Kurama winced. Of course. His luck.

"The sixth, last time I checked," he sighed. Then he glanced out a window. "Though, considering how far we seem to be from the ground now, it might be the twelfth. It changes if you aren't quick. Or fortunate."

[tenofgallifrey]

"Well I'm not looking for anywhere specific. Nothing to be late to." He smiled and walked over to the stranger with the bright red hair, it was after all, only polite to introduce himself.

"How do you do, I'm the Doctor."
